Blue Lock
Title: Blue Lock
Japanese Title: ブルーロック Author: Mineyuki Kaneshiro & Yūsuke Nomura Weekly Shonen Magazine Status: 51 chapters Ongoing Summary: The story begins with Japan's elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which prompts the Japanese Football Union to start a programme scouting high school players who will begin training in preparation for the 2022 Cup. Isagi Youichi, a forward, receives an invitation to this programme soon after his team loses the chance to go to Nationals because he passed to his less-skilled teammate - who missed - without trying to make the game-changing goal by himself. Their coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to "destroy Japanese loser football" by introducing a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called "Blue Lock" and put them through rigorous training aimed at creating "the world's greatest egotist striker." Quite the spin to the shonen sports genre, rather than having your regular high school team aiming for the nationals, you got lots of strangers in a “kill or be killed" type of scenario trying to survive while aiming to be the best, even if it means ruining someone else's chances

Given the latest chapter was scanlated, guess I'll try to bump this thread a bit. The first couple of chapters truly helped set the mood for the story
Spoiler for c2:
All of the 300 players are split in 5 facilities, each being made up of 5 teams, labelled after letters; for example the facility the MC belongs consists of Teams V, W, X, Y and Z, with him being part of Team Z. Thus far the manga can be split in two story sagas; 1st selection which spans from chapter 1 to chapter 38, consisting of games between each team, and 2nd selection from chapter 39 to the current.
